To be successful in this role, you need to have:
Demonstrated understanding of and commitment to land-based movements for social change
3-5 years of campus and/or farm planning experience, including financial and capital project planning
Experience working with building contractors, architects, codes and regulations personnel, and property insurance agents
Able to integrate the values of land as a relative, land as holding memory, and land as critical to meaning-making into strategy, planning, process, and procedure
